The story of Gasquy
Embarking on its toy-making journey in 1949, Gasquy initially started as a family business situated in Belgium; later, it paved the way for itself to become a significant player in the international toy industry. Born out of Andre Gasquy’s passion for creating beautiful toy replicas, the company maintained its essence of offering remarkable play value through master craftsmanship. One gem from its history is that Gasquy was the first European toy company to have its own zinc die-casting foundry boosting its production quality.
